We just had a reader write in a pretty amazing tip on how to make your regular K-Cups make an extra bold cup of single serve coffee.

I have a B70 Kuerig B70 and figured out how to get the extra bold effect with a regular k-cup.

Just put the k-cup in then start the 5.25 oz cycle until the k-cup just starts dripping.
Then lift the handle and let it sit for 30 seconds (or a little less) then go ahead and make the 5.25 oz serving.

Comes out much stronger this way! This method would probably make an extra bold coffee fill a taller cup and taste as good as the small size. Yum!

The K Cup Sampler Pack from Green Mountain Coffee features an assortment of Signature Coffee favorites:

Breakfast Blend

Vermont Country Blend

French Roast

Dark Magic!

The box contains 6 K Cups in each flavor for you to enjoy. We think this gives the best variety you can get for a full range of the regular blends of K Cups. If you're looking for something a bit darker, try the Extra Bold K Cups that Green Mountain offers.

We were very excited when Caribou Coffee joined the Keurig camp just this Spring. Why so excited? From our limited experience with Caribou Coffee in our travels across the US - we've always enjoyed most of the coffee we've sampled. We decided to check out their Daybreak Morning Blend K Cups for Keurig as our first review instead of going to a more bold coffees they offer. The Daybreak Blend should be sweet and light and have a hint of Ethiopian beans in the flavor. How does it hold up to the description and other morning / breakfast blend K Cups?

It's summer and currently we're enjoying the new Chai Tea Latte T Discs for Tassimo, but if you have a Keurig, you need not miss out on the Chai Tea craze. We recommend getting some of the Timothy's World Coffee Chai Tea, K-Cups for Keurig Brewers and perhaps an Aeroccino to make the latte part.

The new Fair Trade Summer Celebration K-Cups have a sweet caramel and honey aromatic smell, along with a sparkle of citrus and a hint of lush, ripe fruit. These new K Cups are from three classic coffee growing regions -- From Rwanda, astonishing clarity and floral aromas. From Mexico, subtle spice and sweet warmth. And from Colombia, lush fruit notes and walnut accents.

On a recent trip to our local Shaw's Supermarket, we found this mid-aisle kiosk for Green Mountain Coffee and the Keurig B40 single serve brewer. We like the selection, and we really like the idea of being able to get our K Cups at our local Shaw's Supermarket. We're not sure what other grocery stores they are doing this in, but perhaps in the comments you can give us some insight.
